Ants!
So my conservatory is overun with ants! I stopped off at the hardware shop on the way home from work to get some poison for them. I don't like killing them, but it seems to be the only way. At least this stuff feeds them as it kills them, so they die happy?
The weather seems to have changed a bit over the past 2 days. Today has been quite pleasant, it seems that Spring is actually here. Makes a change from a week ago, when I was dressed up like it was mid-winter. I suppose as I had just got back from Africa, that had something to do with it.
For those of you who remember, my Mom was having a house built in Gambia, West Africa. Well, it's finally done. I was there for 2 weeks (got back a week ago) and we were setting up house so to speak. There was still a bit of work that needed doing on the place, but it could all be done with us there. It's gonna look really good when it's all finished. I hope to go out again in November, and then I should be able to take some good pics. The ones I took this time have been developed in a bad way. I'm gonna take the negatives to another shop and see if they can get a better result. Plus, in November, some of the garden will be done so it won't look quite so much like a dust pile.
Mom comes back here next Monday, and she said she had taken some more pics, plus there has been some more outside work done since I came home and she will have pics of that. I just won't let her take the film to the place I went. I *really* need to get a decent digital cam, I can't be doing with these disposable ones anymore.
I guess this isn't really the post that I wanted to do. I wanted to fill ppl in on what I have been up to the past year, but I guess I'll have to do that one another time.
I'm also nursing a poorly toe at the moment. I ripped off part of my big toe nail on Monday morning (yesterday) and it's so so so so sore. Part of the nail bed is exposed, and even tho I have used an anti-bacterial cream on it and kept it covered, it seems to be looking nasty. I have brought some Detol, and I'll give my foot a soak in that later, but if it's not any better in the morning, I'm gonna have to go to the docs. My surgery isn't open on a Wednesday PM so it will have to be the morning. My boss won't be too pleased, but there's not a lot I can do. It was really hard to walk around today as it was. (I have to be on my feet a lot at work).
Oh, I'm also on a new Healthy Eating kick. Not sure how it's gonna go. I'm not doing very well at the moment, I just need to get my momentum going I guess. Chocolate is just so hard to resist, especially when ppl at work go to the Cadbury's factory and bring me back a bag of chocolate. I don't even know how much I weigh at the moment as I am too heavy for the scales we have. As soon as I can get on them I can start seeing how much I can lose. I'll post my losses (and gains, if they happen), but I don't think I'll put what my weight actually is, lets just say I'm Heavy!!
Anyways, I think I'll go play some games now
